Build

To compile everything from sources, you'll need some packages installed, namely:
Berkeley YACC, GNU bison, flex, groff, ELF library and FUSE library.
Under Ubuntu, for example, you can do it by command:

Maximite:

Explorer 16 board:

There is an auxiliary PIC18 chip on the Explorer 16 board, which can be
used as a built-in programmer device. You will need a PICkit 2 adapter
to install a needed firmware, as described in article:
http://www.paintyourdragon.com/?p=51
(section "Hack #2: Lose the PICkit 2, Save $35").
This should be done only once.
